did not send another message to buy
enough stock to make cut the 1000

sufficiently to make the difference in
the market value amount TO about
$4,000.
Judge Lurtop, in behalf of the
court, delivered very elaborats
opinion, in which he held hat while

have knowledge of them, they beiug

Mar could only recover the d. ference
in the market value between the
time of sending he message aud
the time he found out the
error, and he could not recover

time he found out the error and the
time he did send the corrected mes
sage, which in this case was several
